A mural honoring Brooklyn gaming YouTuber, Daniel Desmond “Etika” Amofah, greets friends and fans known as ‘Joycon Boyz, ‘ to Bushwick. Amofah created videos about Nintendo games, and shared his life online until his suicide this past June. The mural depicts the gamer amongst Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers, and one of his catchphrases, “Take care of yourself. Have yourself a damn good one!”
